Mr Brown’s One Agency Orange has moved into new premises on the corner of Anson and Summer streets, an office occupied many years ago by the now defunct State Bank.
His new office is the same one he entered many years ago seeking a loan.
“I was trembling,” Mr Brown, the real estate agency’s director, said.
One Agency Orange moved in four weeks ago, using the bank’s former manager’s office and other upstairs space which had remained empty for the business’s eight staff.
“Every other space in the building had been tenanted except this one,” Mr Brown said.
PORTRAIT STUDIO
ARTIST Hanli Uys has moved into a studio in Warrendine Street to create drawings, paintings and sculptures.
Ms Uys works across many mediums, casting sculptures in plaster, cement, bronze and gold.
“I do everything from drawings to clay sculptures,” she said.
Ms Uys can create portraits from a photo or during a sitting in her studio.
DOUBLE DELIGHT
RED Chilli Deli’s foray into wine has started to pay off, netting two medals at the 2017 Orange Wine Show.
The Mystique Cabernet won a silver medal, while the Dog Catcher Sauvignon Blanc won a bronze.
It’s the first show the deli’s wines have been entered in since they were launched last year.
Red Chill Deli owner Ayoma Gooneratne said she planned on sticking to the two varieties ahead of a tilt at next year’s wine show, though “we may expand our horizons if we have more varieties in the future”.
